The best court from fonseca is Hard, im Brazilian, but the kid is a real deal. Nexts years we will listen a lot about him, I think only Sinner e Alcaraz will be better, and of course Nole, but i dont know how much time he will continues playing
Yeah, but we need to see him play, he's pulled out of every tournament, clearly he's either playing mind games with opponents, or if he's genuinely injured- he won't be winning, as his body won't be able to keep up, let's see.
To see the fight between Medvedev and rune last tournament...and now rune talking well about Medvedev like they are good friends ...it's really cool... I'am starting to like rune
everyone thinks it didn’t ended up well between the two guys but they’re wrong, TENNISTV does posts on instagram or videos on YT where they only show spicy moments of the matches, so they did in that match in Indian Wells, wrong… Meddy didn’t see Holger apologize so he started acting like a child, then the umpire showed him e made clear the situation for the two and they gave each other a handshake like normal friends with Daniil apologizing for his behavior
It wasn't a fight. Meddy was being a petulant brat - his obsession with getting an apology for net cords is weird. Rune showed way more maturity. Rafa gets hit in the body at the net and he just turns around - next point.
@@orchidpanda2253Nah, Meddy sometimes acts out but Rune is also self-aware he can be a pain in the ass, so they probably buried the hatchet right there. Guys like Stefanos are the ones who refuse to apologize usually. Rune is way cheekier but he does apologize eventually.
@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266 Nah, Stefanos did apologize to Rublev publicly and privately and idk what else he has to apologize for, definitely not to Kyrgios or Medvedev. Just admit you're one of those guys who hates Tsitsipas b/c he's talented and gorgeous... the other guys on the tour are, why should you be any different?
Nole can hurt the younglins more on clay and grass if he is playing well. I think Sinner will be the man to beat at USO though, and he will be specially menacing at Wimby, but so will Nole and Carlos.
ahh actually why does he need to chase Fed who reached 100 titles by playing 250s and 500s? His 103 titles are not even prestigious, it's always big titles that counts... If Nole wanted that, he could have played 250s all year round... its just another record for Fedal fans to put anyone but djokovic relevant
Damn, is Nole not participating in those tournament or what? I know Alcaraz and Sinner are on hot streak recently but you couldn't forget about the cureent No.1 seed 😂
The past many years he hasn't been playing great before Madrid or Rome. I believe he and Alcaraz will be the main contenders for RG, but Alcaraz will be my favorite in Madrid.
@@colethomas903it’s entire clay season! He owns rome won there so many times and won 2/3 last RG! Yeh not much haha MC is just one tournament and yes back in the day when he played more he was really good there too.
Rune has more maturity than Medevdev,Medvedev just creates scenes unnecessary,during that match it was very small altercation but Medevedev unnecessarily created big issue out of it.

By Rune’s comments and psychological analysis. I can see the struggle and his goals. I hope he can learn to be more calm, work on his game and practice humility and humble. Best wishes for him, he’s a great player.
@@alcaraz-24x I prefer him backing himself than false modesty and false humility. You think Alcaraz goes into RG thinking to himself, oh someone else is gonna win it? No, you have to tell yourself you can win it in order to be a real contender. And Rune is one of the top clay courters -- along with Alcaraz, Tsitsipas, Ruud, Djokovic.

@@lc86_65 Oh ok I thought it was at MC but bro Nole mentions MC but may be like u said it might have been recorded earlier...I saw that practice match his FH was on fire which hasn't been this year...but just for the record I think he needs Nadal to have that motivation...Regarding Goran I think they had issue since the Davis Cup last year which Goran thought was unnecessary and he was right...That loss to Sinner seems to have taken its toll not just Physically but also Mentally
@Nostalgic14-zo3pk I think he does well at motivating himself with his own goals, irregardless of competition... but I guess he wasn't happy with DC loss and the disagreement with Goran. He may feel freer now and hopefully will play his best on clay and peak for the Olympics. I'd love to see him win gold and Wimby this year. I'd be happy for him, and I think he would be too if that's all he wins this year 😅🙌
It's funny to come here after Tsitsipas won his 3rd Monte Carlo title. Lezgo Stef! 🤣🤣🤣But I never take any predictions seriously, not even my own. I don't think it's arrogant or cringey for players to back themselves - these guys are top athletes in competitive sports for entertainment, they're not zen masters in training. It's fun to have some players with swagger.
I cant believe that the clay season is an open field now..Just some years ago there was only one name or two at the most....hope Rafa can bring his Night Guy mode one last time...🤞
Rafa😂 that diva drama artist? He is fine, he just knows there are many players good on non clay surfaces who can beat him. So he is preserving himself and his image.

And rafanatics will hail him as the greatest competitor.

João Fonseca was unlucky to end up on Casper Ruud's side, otherwise he would bet on QF or SF in Madrid. Casper Ruud is for me favorite at madrid and RG this year

He made the semis at RG last year for the third year in a row (2021 and 2022 too). Plus he was undefeated on the Madrid Center Court until the final with Alcaraz where he barely got like 4 hours of sleep before playing the final. He's a really solid and definitely one of the best clay court players, I also was really surprised only Novak mentioned him. But he plays his best tennis when he's underestimated ;)

I think everyone knows Sasha is an amazing player, but the fact that he is so amazing and hasn't won a slam speaks volumes about his poor mentality. Couple that with how many times he's lost matches despite having huge leads, and it's easy to understand why people don't bet on him.
@@RyGimeson It's just my opinion, but I don't think he's mentally weak at all. If he was mentally weak, he wouldn't have turned around the Olympics semi, being down 6-1 and a break against a top form Djokovic who'd just won 3/3 Slams that year and was pursuing the Golden Slam, nor would he have returned to tennis and at such a high level after such a physically and mentally traumatic injury. So I really don't think there's an issue with his mentality. I personally think most of the reason for his unexpected losses is his Type 1 Diabetes, I feel like it shouldn't be overlooked. It affects every aspect of his game, and the issues come without warning, it can be at the start of a match, when he's winning, when he's losing. It obviously affects him physically (losing strength in his muscles, low energy, decreased stamina, etc.) but it also crucially affects his mind too. It can make it hard to concentrate and induce a sort of brain fog, which will also massively hamper his level in matches as well. But that's just me.

Finally i got this vid after searching and scrolling 😂 well done novak, i hope you got to face fonseca real soon And i realized he's right, after this vid, fonseca got into quarters in rio
This video came out before Monte Carlo so there were question marks around Sinner, even though he's had some really good results on clay prior. Hey, don't take it too seriously, Tsitsipas was a 2x Monte Carlo champion and no one said a word about him. And look how wrong they were.
They mentioned him for Madrid which plays a bit faster than other clay surfaces and last year a big server like Struff made the final there so Ben can potentially do something similar if he plays really well.
Shelton will adapt and then bring that Alcaraz-like energy. He's got natural talent, athleticism, and mental fortitude. Kind of similar to Kyrgios in being able to draw a huge crowd just to see the ridiculous plays
You can't take these predictions seriously dude. It's just a popularity contest. If you want objective predictions, go to the websites where they do betting odds - they keep it real objective b/c they're dealing with people's money. Nobody excels in the clay season just b/c they won Houston.
Ruud’s mentality definitely holds him back a little, you almost need to be a little deluded to be really successful, in anything not just Tennis. You need believe in yourself even when the odds are firmly stacked against you.

@@Blue-ik8ij This is what you dreamed of. Alcaraz did not have cramps until his match with Novak. Alcaraz himself stated that playing against Novak is completely different from playing against any other player
@@Blue-ik8ij lol everyone said he wont last year but he did, he can surprise everyone like that~ btw the reason for Alcaraz's cramps was Novak himself~ Alcaraz couldn't keep up with the intensity, that's how he got the cramps, let's not kid ourselves
@@heizeking3557alcaraz cramped because of the heat . And lack of pickle juice . Djokovic definitely crappped himself after that second set . And then alcaraz beat djokovic 2 week later just to prove djokovics win was a fluke
Finally i got this vid after searching and scrolling 😂 well done novak, i hope you got to face fonseca real soon
And i realized he's right, after this vid, fonseca got into quarters in rio
Novak forgot Zverev has his trial during RG...
Everyone forgets how sinner is hard to put down this year lol.
Ruud acknowledging his status as the 250 clay king 😂
Medvedev will win this year's clay!
Misha Kecmanovic if he plays seriously
Meddy
Fonseca would be in cloud nine by now
Novak 🇷🇸
Holger 🇩🇰
Humbert 🇫🇷
My three favorites for this clay season. Go take them all guys!
Holger dosent have the legs to win any ckay court tournemants
None of them will win
Humbert on clay?!
@@hbjigcc As I said, these are my FAVORITES.
Djokovic: i think respect will have good clay season 😂
Who could win 1st masters 1000 title on clay??
And Nobody, literally Nobody said sinner..🤷
This video came out before Monte Carlo so there were question marks around Sinner, even though he's had some really good results on clay prior. Hey, don't take it too seriously, Tsitsipas was a 2x Monte Carlo champion and no one said a word about him. And look how wrong they were.
Isn’t Shelton very reliant on his serve and isn’t very good in long rallies? Not exactly the recipe for success on clay.
They mentioned him for Madrid which plays a bit faster than other clay surfaces and last year a big server like Struff made the final there so Ben can potentially do something similar if he plays really well.
look how well he's doing in Houston - SF in his first clay tournament
Shelton will adapt and then bring that Alcaraz-like energy. He's got natural talent, athleticism, and mental fortitude. Kind of similar to Kyrgios in being able to draw a huge crowd just to see the ridiculous plays
You can't take these predictions seriously dude. It's just a popularity contest. If you want objective predictions, go to the websites where they do betting odds - they keep it real objective b/c they're dealing with people's money. Nobody excels in the clay season just b/c they won Houston.
Sascha and Sinner- Masters Madrid, Carlos I don't think worh injury etc he can turn things around
If my boy eubanks plays like he did in Houston clay he can’t win a match at Roland garros
Why did Fils sound Russian at 4:18 lol
french accent. not russian
Ruud’s mentality definitely holds him back a little, you almost need to be a little deluded to be really successful, in anything not just Tennis. You need believe in yourself even when the odds are firmly stacked against you.
Imagine Rune had said Wawrinka
NOLE y DANIIL 😊
Djokovic lowering his standards is gold
Ruuud 🎉🎉🎉
It’s Novak. With Rafa not being close to 100% we have to go with 3rd best Clay court player ever.
1.Nadal
2.Borg
3.Djokovic
Zverev for RG is quite a good pick
You cant hate casper rud
Why is it that when holger mentions himself its cringe and obnoxious but feels cool for Ruud 😅
Nobody talk about Dimitrov...so sad,the most elegant and clas player
Rune ❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❓❌
Ruud ✅✅❌❌❌❌❌❌✅
Fils. ✅❌❌❓❓❓❓❌❌
Eubanks ✅❓❓❌❌❌❌❓❌
Baez ❌❌❌❓❌❌✅❌❓
Djokovic ✅❌❓❌❓❌❓❌✅
Rafa is definitely not winning a clay or any other tournament this year 😢
